Transcripts

An "official" transcript is a record of secondary or post-secondary education sent directly to the Admissions Application Centre from each of your previous educational institutions. While we wait for the official transcripts to arrive, unofficial copies of your academic records should be submitted as they allow us to start the admission process.You must disclose your full academic history when you apply. If you do not disclose your entire secondary and post-secondary academic history, your acceptance or registration may be cancelled. Academic records undeclared at the point of application and subsequently submitted will not be used to upgrade your placement level.

Transfer students

Transfer applicants are considered on the basis of both their university and previous studies. If you are transferring from another university, you will be considered for an appropriate level of placement within the undergraduate program at this University. Credit may be awarded for university- level courses that are equivalent to IOU courses and appropriate to the program to which you are applying. However, the evaluation of transfer credit cannot be made until a formal application and all necessary supporting documents have been received.

There are, however, some special conditions attached to the granting of transfer credits. The number of credits awarded depends on the character, quality and quantity of the work completed. A minimum of 60 credits must be taken at Indian Ocean University.
